Flame of fire

You know the feeling you get when you look deep into someone's eyes? It makes you feel like you can see their soul, their heart and know everything about them. There's a feeling of peace because no matter what you are comfortable with being so close and in tune with that person. This is exactly how the Lord is teaching me to look at Him.

"But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love..." Psalm 33:18

Imagine staring at the creator of the universe in the eyes. Opening yourself up and looking deep in His fiery eyes...it makes everything else fade away. All that matters is the flame you see. The world makes sense in that moment. At that moment your relationship with Him becomes more than a to do list, but it becomes intimate. It goes from serving a master to loving a father and a husband. In that moment you want nothing more than for His will to be done. You finally realize life is more about others than yourself.

You know you want to stay in that moment forever. You become lovesick thinking about that moment ending, but the thing is, it doesn't have to end. Like two lovers staring into each others eyes, never wanting to let go of the embrace, God is holding on to you. Promising to never let you go.

God is challenging me to take Him out of the box, to see Him differently than ever before. What do you see when you look at God? Let's take time to discover who our lover is. Once we become focused on the only thing that matters, everything else will fall in place. His timing. His will. Let's forget about religion. Let's focus on love. When love conquers all, it will make it through the storms, it will delight in the good times and never let go.

He is faithful to His Word. Remember that when you are in the desert place.
